MedStar Health Research Institute, a 2020 ONC Leading Edge Acceleration Project (LEAP) in Health IT awardee, has developed new Fast Healthcare Interoperability Resources (FHIR) platforms to support EHR data access for clinical research. In collaboration with the Georgetown University Medical Center and HealthLab, the MedStar project team developed two new tools to provide researchers access to standardized data for at-scale extraction and analysis. The tools, available via ONC’s GitHub repository (registration required), include the Bugs & Drugs FHIR Factory and the Trend Engine FHIR Factory. The framework for both data platforms performs automated, iterative data extraction, as well as transformation and integration of the data using FHIR application programming interfaces (APIs).
